Instructions
- 1
Drain and thoroughly rinse the jackfruit. Using your hands or two forks, shred the jackfruit, removing any tough core pieces. You want it to resemble pulled pork.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the shredded jackfruit, BBQ sauce, vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke (if using).
- 5
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and has absorbed the flavors. The sauce should be thick and clinging to the jackfruit.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- 7
Lightly toast the burger buns. Pile a generous amount of the smoky BBQ jackfruit onto each bun. Top with coleslaw, pickles, or red onion slices if desired.
- 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your incredibly satisfying plant-based BBQ experience!
Pro Tips
High in fiber at 9g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
